reniform macula, and the irregular, lighter undulate line which, is proximally bordered with a slightly darker 
shade. Hindwing white, very faintly tinted yellowish, with a small grey discal luna and hardly noticeable 
marginal streaks. According to 1 $ from Mt. Tolima (Colombia), taken by Fassl. 
E. trifasciata Hmps. (11a) is a very easily recognizable insect owing to the lilac-white, brown-dusted 
and black-strewn fore wing with a black basal ray; veins white, bordered with brown. Transverse lines and 
maculae absent altogether; a black stripe extends above the median to the margin, another is subcostal, and a 
third browner stripe above the inner-marginal vein. Hindwing brownish. South East Peru (Agualani). 
E. atristriata Dogn. Forewing light brown, strewn reddish with a lighter costal part; transverse lines 
only marked by dots, also the undulate line which is subapically accompanied by a darker shade; maculae 
bordered with light ochreous-reddish. Hindwing blackish-grey, in the disc and at the proximal margin lighter. 
Expanse of wings: 35 mm. Chile (Punta-Arenas). 
E. diagramnia Jones is ochreous-brown, strewn darker; on the median a dark longitudinal band 
extends from the base to the posterior transverse line; the spotted postmedian line runs very obliquely and 
dies away in the darker apical part; instead of the maculae there are only two dark dots; in the distal half of 
the proximal margin a dark shade. Hindwing diaphanous. Exjmnse of wings: 38 mm. Brazil. 
E. haesitans Wkr. (10 h) has greyish-brown forewings scantily strewn with blackish; the anterior 
transverse lines are only marked by dots, the posterior line is dentate; between the maculae which are coloured 
like the ground there is a black spot shaped almost like an X. Hindwing brown, towards the base lighter. Rocky 
Mountains. 
E. manifesta Morr. (= impingens Dyar ) (10 g) is similar, of a darker greyish brown with the same 
marking, with a grey, indistinct undulate line which is proximally bordered with a darker shade. Hindwing 
greyish-brown. United States (New Jersey, New York). 
E. salicarum Wkr. (= claviformis Morr., orilliana Grt.) (10 g) is unmistakable by the reddish or 
bluish-grey basal half and the more red-brown distal half, defined by the almost rectangularly broken median 
shade; transverse lines single, the posterior line dentate; undulate line distinct, light grey, proximally shaded 
with ferruginous brown. Hindwing reddish-brown with whitish fringes. Canada, United States. 
E. monochromatea Morr. (10 i) is of a plain red-brown with 2 very much nearing transverse lines, 
without any trace of maculae or other marking. Hindwing dark greyish-brown with whitish fringes. New 
Hampshire, Massachusetts. 
E. ochricraspia Hmps. has deep red-brown forewings, more or less dusted blackish, with a light oclireous- 
yellowish costal-marginal part which flows together with the similarly coloured maculae; traces of grey transverse 
lines ; a similar undulate line is somewhat more distinct. Hindwing reddish brownish-grey with a darker discal 
spot and ochreous-reddish fringes. Expanse of wings: 40 to 44 mm. Falklands Islands. 
E. xanthosfola Mob. (— dalei Btlr.) (10 i) is of a monotonous brownish ochreous colour, with some 
blackish striae, the margins more reddish; markings quite indistinct except faint traces of the reniform macula 
and dots on the veins instead of the postmedian line. Hindwing whitish, dusted -with a greyish brown, at 
the costal margin and in the marginal area darker. Falklands Islands, Patagonia. 
E. colima Schs. (10 i) is orange, in the areas of the proximal and distal margins dusted and striated 
in a reddish brown, with single, dentate transverse lines; the maculae are red-brown, in yellow rings, the reniform 
macula shaped almost like a Z. Hindwing diaphanous white with yellowish veins, proximal and distal margins. 
Mexico. 
E. bistrigata Maass. (10 i). Forewing purple red-brown with a black basal stripe below the black 
cell as far as the centre of the wing; transverse lines quite indistinct, the small maculae purple brown; undulate 
line only marked by the blackish marginal area situate behind it, dentate. Hindwing light brown with darker 
veins. Colombia, Ecuador. 
E. elevata Sm. is reddish-grey with single dark transverse stripes; the maculae are light grey, surrounded 
with black, the ring-macula oblong, on both sides extended, the reniform macula a minute luna; the coniform 
macula is yellowish, surrounded with black, and before it there is a yellow stripe as far as the base; undulate 
line grey with brown diffuse spots. Hindwing brownish-white, towards the apex darker. Expanse of wings: 
35 mm. Colorado. 
E. littoralis Pack. (10 i) has reddish-brown forewings with almost extinct darker transverse lines 
and an oblique red-brown median shade on which the small reniform macula rests as a small dark spot; the 
ring-macula is an indistinct ferruginous brown ring; the undulate line is marked by ferruginous brown shading 
on the inside. Hindwing dark brown with lighter fringes and a darker small discal spot. — pectinata Grt. (= ferru-
